## Cross-building glibc from Linux.

The long-term goal is to get build-many-glibcs.py to be able to cross-compile
glibc. This should be working as per the following:

   mkdir -p /tmp/build/src
   cp -a /usr/src/glibc /tmp/build/src/
   unset CFLAGS
   /tmp/build/src/glibc/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py /tmp/build checkout binutils-2.29 gcc-7.1.0
   /tmp/build/src/glibc/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py /tmp/build host-libraries
   /tmp/build/src/glibc/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py /tmp/build compilers i686-gnu
   /tmp/build/src/glibc/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py /tmp/build glibcs i686-gnu

Ideally the master branch builds that way. As of January 2018 the goal is first
to get the sthibaul/hurd-builds branch building.
